    Blind Air Rifle Shooting

    Well, do you think that you could do this with your eyes closed?

    Clever stuff indeed.

    Sometimes I think closing my eyes might actually help me hit something
    Opportunity is missed by most people, because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

    nice shooting & fair play to him & other folks who are blind & can shoot still, however i wear glasses & i would hope i could carry on shooting & enjoying this great sport if i went blind for some reason.

    We've got this kit at Blackburn and it is impressive to watch but the scores some of the blind shooters put are are even more impressive.

    Are any of the Blind shooters at Blackburn shooting without a spring stand?

    We have two rifles fitted out at the club for blind shooting, and most of the air rifle shooters have tried it, believe me, its not easy.
    As a by the way when we were instructing we found he best way to help was to have a small laser taped under the barrel to help the shooter find the target noise.

    The group of regulars all now shoot off hand. We started them off on stands with a laser pointer on the rifle to make it easier for the helper to get them on aim but we found that they pretty soon got the hang of it.
